Sup everyone? anyways i was wondering how hard is it to convert a automatic to manual transmission? What items do i need to if i wanted to convert my auto to manual trans? I am asking this because i am thinking that if my auto trans breaks and needs replacement, im gonna consider converting it to manual cuz that was what i really wanted to have in the first place...

 

Lots of little parts & tremendous amount of labor. If you pay to have a shop do it, its probably not worth it.

Doing it yourself??
Possible start for your shopping list?

Several console parts around gearshift lever.
Gearshift lever & structural stuff around there.
Shift cables, with their brackets & etc.
Rear engine mount (below firewall) is different.
Tranny (duh)
Flywheel (& longer bolts for crankshaft)
Clutch & pressure plate & pilot bearing.
Brake/clutch pedal assembly.
Wiring for clutch-starter interlock, solenoids, etc.
Clutch master cylinder & hydraulic lines.
Possibly the starter is different?
ECU for manual, or learn what jumpers/connections to change.

 

Now that's a shopping list that will keep you busy if your thinking of doing it ...not for me but for you maybe [sm=pimp.gif]

Its been done before, its fairly straight forward and cheap now a days. There's also several write ups that make it 10x easier.

 

When the forum is finally back up and running correctly, there is a DIY on page 3 of the DIY section. Right now the link doesn't work though [:@]
